- a swash plate type variable capacity compressor used for an air-conditioning system for a motor vehicle and the like includes a rotating shaft rotationally driven by the rotational force of an engine, a swash plate which is coupled to the rotating shaft so that its inclination angle may be varied, a piston for compression coupled to the swash plate, and the like, and changes the inclination angle of the swash plate, thereby changing a stroke of the piston and controlling a discharge rate of a refrigerant.
- such a capacity control valve 160 includes: a valve section 170 having a second valve chamber 182 communicating with a discharge chamber via a second communication passage 173, a first valve chamber 183 communicating with a suction chamber via a first communication passage 171, and a third valve chamber 184 communicating with a control chamber via a third communication passage 174; a pressure-sensitive body 178 which is arranged in the third valve chamber to extend and contract by ambient pressure and which has a valve seat body 180 provided at a free end in an extension and contraction direction; a valve body 181 having a second valve part 176 for opening and closing a valve hole 177 for communicating the second valve chamber 182 and the third valve chamber 184, a first valve part 175 for opening and closing the first communication passage 171 and a circulation groove 172, and a third valve part 179 for opening and closing the third valve chamber 184 and the circulation groove 172 by engagement and disengagement to and from the valve seat body 180 in the third valve chamber 184; a solenoid section 190 for
- a pressure in the control chamber (a control chamber pressure) Pc and a suction pressure Ps (a suction pressure) can be adjusted by communicating the discharge chamber and the control chamber in a case where the need to change the control chamber pressure arises (Hereinafter, it is referred to as a "conventional art”. For example, see Patent Document 1.).
- Patent Document 1 EP 1 995 460 A1
- the conventional capacity control valve 160 includes a liquid refrigerant discharge function in order to discharge the liquid refrigerant in the control chamber (crank chamber) as quickly as possible at the time of start-up. That is, if the variable capacity compressor is stopped and then is intended to be started after a long-time standing, high-pressure liquid refrigerant accumulated in the control chamber (crank chamber) flows into the third valve chamber 184 from the third communication passage 174. Then, the pressure-sensitive body (bellows) 178 contracts and the third valve part 179 and the valve seat body 180 are opened therebetween.
- An opening area between the third valve part 179 and the valve seat body 180 is large, and therefore the liquid refrigerant can be discharged to the suction chamber out of the control chamber (crank chamber) in a short time, through the auxiliary communication passage 185, the intermediate communication passage 186 and the circulation groove 172 from the third valve chamber 184, thereby capable of quickly shifting to a cooling operation state at maximum capacity.
- the control chamber pressure Pc and the suction pressure Ps are decreased, and the third valve part 179 and the valve seat body 180 are closed therebetween.
- the second valve part 176 is opened from a fully closed state by the solenoid section S and shifts to a control state.
- the fluid at the discharge pressure Pd is supplied to the third valve chamber 184 from the second valve chamber 182, and thereby a differential pressure between the suction pressure Ps and the control chamber pressure Pc is changed, an inclination angle of the swash plate is changed, and a stroke (discharge capacity) of a piston is controlled.
- the present invention has been made to solve the problems the above-described conventional art has, and an object thereof is to provide a capacity control valve for controlling a flow rate or pressure of a variable capacity compressor according to a valve opening degree of a valve main body, the capacity control valve capable of making constant a fluid volume flowing to a first valve chamber from a third valve chamber even if the pressure of the third valve chamber is fluctuated and capable of improving a control performance of the variable capacity compressor.
- a capacity control valve for controlling a flow rate or pressure according to a valve opening degree of a valve section, the capacity control valve including:
- a fluid volume flowing to the first valve chamber from the interior space is adjusted by the auxiliary communication part arranged in the interior space, thereby being capable of improving operation efficiency of a variable capacity compressor.
- the auxiliary communication part has an opening area smaller than a flow passage cross-sectional area of the intermediate communication passage.
- the auxiliary communication part serves as a bottleneck, and therefore the fluid flowing to the first valve chamber from the interior space is adjusted by adjusting only the auxiliary communication passage, thereby being capable of improving operation efficiency of the variable capacity compressor.
- the auxiliary communication part is a hole part arranged in the valve body.
- the opening area of the auxiliary communication part can be adjusted by adjusting the diameter of the hole part.
- the auxiliary communication part has an opening area larger than a gap part between the end part of the shaft part of the valve body and the free end part of the pressure-sensitive body.
- the fluid volume flowing to the first valve chamber from the interior space can be adjusted by adjusting only the auxiliary communication part.
- the valve body includes a plurality of the auxiliary communication parts.
- the opening area of the auxiliary communication parts can be adjusted by adjusting the number of the auxiliary communication parts.
- the auxiliary communication part is made up of a gap part between the shaft part of the valve body and the free end part of the pressure-sensitive body.
- the fluid volume flowing to the first valve chamber from the interior space is adjusted by adjusting the gap part between the shaft part of the valve body and the free end part of the pressure-sensitive body, thereby capable of improving operation efficiency of the variable capacity compressor.

- An interior of the pressure-sensitive body 22 is a vacuum or air exists therein. Then, with respect to an effective pressure receiving area of the bellows 22a of the pressure-sensitive body 22, the pressure-sensitive body 24 is extended and contracted according to the pressure in the interior space 16, and the valve body 21 is configured to actuate a predetermined driving force.
- a free end part 22c is arranged on a free end part side of the pressure-sensitive body 22 moving so as to extend and contract in response to the suction pressure in the interior space 16.
- the partition adjustment part 3 of the pressure-sensitive body 22 is sealingly fitted and fixed so as to block the interior space 16 of the valve main body 10.
- the partition adjustment part 3 is screwed, or fixed by a set screw (not shown), spring force of compression springs arranged in parallel within the bellows 22a or of the bellows 22a can be adjusted to be moved in the axial direction.
- the valve body 21 is made of a hollow cylindrical member.
- the valve body 21 mainly consists of a fourth shaft part 21k integrally coupled to a solenoid rod 36 described later, a first shaft part 21c provided consecutively to the fourth shaft part 21k and formed to have a diameter larger than that of the fourth shaft part 21k, a labyrinth part 21g provided consecutively to the first shaft part 21c, a second shaft part 21b provided consecutively to the labyrinth 21g, and a third shaft part 21a (a shaft part according to the present invention) provided consecutively to the second shaft part 21b and formed to have a diameter smaller than that of the second shaft part 21b.
- a fourth shaft part 21k integrally coupled to a solenoid rod 36 described later
- a first shaft part 21c provided consecutively to the fourth shaft part 21k and formed to have a diameter larger than that of the fourth shaft part 21k
- a labyrinth part 21g provided consecutively to the first shaft part 21c
- the first shaft part 21c and the second shaft part 21b are arranged on the first valve chamber 14 side and the second valve chamber 15 side across the labyrinth part 21g, and the labyrinth part 21g slides with the hole part 18 formed between the first valve chamber 14 side and the second valve chamber 15 side and seals the first valve chamber 14 and the second valve chamber 15.
- the first valve chamber 14 and the second valve chamber 15 are configured as independent valve chambers.
- a first valve part 21c1 is formed, and the first valve part 21c1 opens and closes communication between the intermediate communication passage 26 and the first valve chamber 14 by separating from and making contact with a first valve seat 31c formed on an end surface of a stator core 31 of the solenoid 30 described later.
- a second valve part 21b1 is formed, and the second valve part 21b1 opens and closes the valve hole 17 for communicating the second valve chamber 15 and the interior space 16 by separating from and making contact with the second valve seat 15a.
- valve body 21 has an intermediate communication passage 26 penetrating a center part thereof.
- the intermediate communication passage 26 consists of a first intermediate communication passage 26a penetrating in its axial direction, and a second intermediate communication passage 26b which is formed in the fourth shaft part 21k and which communicates the first intermediate communication passage 26a and the first valve chamber 14.
- An end part 21a1 of the third shaft part 21a of the valve body 21 is relatively slidably fitted in a hole part 22c1 of the free end part 22c of the pressure-sensitive body 22.
- an auxiliary communication part 21f made up of a hole penetrating in a radial direction is formed, and the intermediate communication passage 26 and the interior space 16 are communicated with each other by the auxiliary communication part 21f.
- an opening area S1 of the auxiliary communication part 21f is formed to be sufficiently larger than a gap area S2 between the end part 21a1 of the third shaft part 21a and the hole part 22c1 of the pressure-sensitive body 22.
- a fitting length of the end part 21a1 of the third shaft part 21a and the hole part 22c1 of the pressure-sensitive body 22 is set larger than a displacement amount of the free end part 22c of the pressure-sensitive body 22 by the pressure in the interior space 16, and the fitting state is always maintained.
- a groove part 21h is formed in an end part 21a1 of the third shaft part 21a of the valve body 21, and an opening area S5 of the groove part 21h is set larger than the gap area S2 of the second flow passage.
- the groove part 21h is not provided in the end part 21a1 of the valve body 21, from the state that an end part 21e of the valve body 21 contacts an end surface 22d of the pressure-sensitive body 22, that is, the state that the area between the end part 21e of the valve body 21 and the end surface 22d of the pressure-sensitive body 22 is zero ( FIG. 2 ), the area is suddenly changed when the end part 21e of the valve body 21 is separated from the end surface 22d of the pressure-sensitive body 22 ( FIG. 1 ) .
- the solenoid 30 is constituted by a solenoid rod 36 (a rod according to the present invention), a plunger case 38, a plate 34, an electromagnetic coil 35, a stator core 31 consisting of a center post 31a and a base part 31d arranged in an inner peripheral part of the electromagnetic coil 35, a plunger 32, and a biasing means 28 arranged between the plunger 32 and the center post 31a which are contained in a solenoid case 33.
- the valve body 21 and the plunger 32 are coupled by the solenoid rod 36 movably fitted in a through hole 31h of the stator core 31, and the valve body 21 and the plunger 32 are integrally driven.
- the biasing means 28 for biasing the plunger 32 so as to be separated from the stator core 31 is arranged. That is, the biasing means 28 biases the first valve part 21c1 so as to be in a closed state from an opened state and the second valve part 21b1 so as to be in an opened state from a closed state.
- the plunger case 38 is a bottomed hollow cylindrical member whose one end is opened. An open end of the plunger case 38 is sealingly fixed to the base part 31d of the stator core 31, and between a bottom part of the plunger case 38 and the center post 31a of the stator core 31, the plunger 32 is movably arranged in the axial direction. Thereby, the electromagnetic coil 35 is sealed by the plunger case 38, the base part 31d of the stator core 31, and the solenoid case 33, and does not contact the refrigerant, and therefore it is possible to prevent reduction in insulation resistance.
- FIG. 3 shows a relationship between a solenoid current and a minimum flow passage cross-sectional area of each flow passage.
- the dot and dash line in FIG. 3 shows a relationship between the solenoid current and the minimum flow passage cross-sectional area in the Pc-Ps flow passage, and the solid line in FIG. 3 shows a relationship between the solenoid current and the minimum flow passage cross-sectional area in the Pd-Pc flow passage.
- the control state is a state that the capacity control valve is controlled such that the pressure of the suction chamber is a set value Pset.
- the minimum flow passage cross-sectional area of the Pc-Ps flow passage is determined by the area of the auxiliary communication part 21f, and therefore the area of the Pc-Ps flow passage is maintained at a constant value S1 regardless of magnitude of current supplied to the solenoid in the control state of the solenoid. Thereby, the fluid volume flowing through the Pc-Ps flow passage can be easily adjusted to be constant.
- the fluid volume flowing through the Pc-Ps flow passage can be easily adjusted only by adjusting the size of the opening area S1 of the auxiliary communication part 21f, and therefore in the control state, a constant volume of fluid can be allowed to flow to the first valve chamber 14 from the interior space 16, and thus the pressure of the suction chamber communicating with the first valve chamber 14 can be stabilized, thereby capable of improving controllability of the variable capacity compressor.
- the fluid volume flowing through the Pc-Ps flow passage can be easily adjusted only by adjusting the size of the opening area S1 of the auxiliary communication part 21f, and therefore in the control state, constant fluid can be allowed to flow to the first valve chamber 14 from the interior space 16, and thus the pressure of the suction chamber communicating with the first valve chamber 14 can be stabilized, thereby capable of improving controllability of the variable capacity compressor.
- the pressure-sensitive body 22 and the valve body 21 are relatively displaced in the interior space 16, and therefore the gap area S2 exists between the end part 21a1 of the third shaft part 21a and the hole part 22c1 of the pressure-sensitive body 22. Therefore, as the Pc-Ps flow passage, two routes of the Pc-Ps flow passage via the first flow passage and the Pc-Ps flow passage via the second flow passage exist. Also in such a case, by sufficiently increasing the opening area S1 with respect to the gap area S2, the fluid can be allowed to almost flow through the first flow passage and hardly flow through the second flow passage. Thereby, even if the Pc-Ps flow passages exist in parallel, the fluid volume flowing to the first valve chamber 14 from the interior space 16 can be adjusted only by adjusting the size of the opening area S1 of the auxiliary communication part 21f.
- the fluid volume flowing through the Pc-Ps flow passage via the second flow passage can be set to zero.
- a fluid draining hole or the like is provided such that an enclosed space is not formed between the end part 21a1 of the valve body 21 and the free end part 22c of the pressure-sensitive body 22, thereby it is prevented from being resistance when the valve body 21 and the pressure-sensitive body 22 are relatively displaced.
- the fluid volume flowing through the Pc-Ps flow passage is adjusted by adjusting the opening area S1 of the auxiliary communication part 21f
- the minimum opening area of the Pc-Ps flow passage may be adjusted without providing the auxiliary communication part 21f.
- the gap area between an end part 51a1 of a valve body 51 and the hole part 22c1 of the pressure-sensitive body 22 the fluid volume flowing through the Pc-Ps flow passage may be adjusted to be constant.
